An Ultra-high Numerical Aperture Metalens at Visible Wavelengths

Optics 2018-08-01 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate a metalens with NA = 0.98 in air, a bandwidth (FWHM) of 274 nm and a focusing efficiency of 67% at 532 nm wavelength, which is close to the transmission performance of a TiO2 metalens. Moreover, and uniquely so, our metalens can be front-immersed into immersion oil and achieve an ultra-high NA of 1.48 experimentally and 1.73 theoretically, thereby demonstrating the highest NA of any metalens in the visible regime reported to the best of our knowledge.
